What Is a Drill Bush?
A Drill Bush is a component used in machining and fabrication to precisely control the position of drilling or cutting tools.
It is employed to hold drilling tools (usually drill bits) in an accurate position and stabilize their location. Typically, it has a simple cylindrical shape, with the inner diameter usually machined to match the size of the drill bit. Additionally, some may have a tapered shape, gradually narrowing towards the tip, to precisely position the drill.
There are different types of drill bushes, including flexible drill bushes made from flexible materials used for drilling holes in curved surfaces or highly complex-shaped parts, and hard drill bushes made from materials like metal or high-strength plastics used for applications demanding high precision.
